Random frame

Hi

I got this working random(19)

But how do I only get a frame to show once

You want to cycle randomly between the frames ? I would use a instance variable "framesToDisplay", initialy set to "0;1;2;...;x;", x being the frame count, and every time I need to change the frame, I would set the frame to round(random(tokenCount(framesToDisplay,";"))), and then remove the frame number from the variable. Once there is no more token (every frame has been used), regenerate the variable.

As you will need to store the frames still to show, or the ones already shown, I don't think there is a solution without variable.

Hi thanks Guizmus

A little advanced for me,

Would It be hard doing a sample .capx

Cheers

Here's one way to do it. It's similar to the method Guizmus suggested, but uses an array instead of a string variable.

Demo

Capx

I hope this helps.

Here is the capx for the method I described. Works with any frame count. Functions can easily be changed to accept multiple instance of the sprite (just add a Sprite.UID argument on each call)

Just great - Thanks for that !!

will try it out
